Regarding 'Fair' National Income Distribution

The GINI Index exists and is ubiquitous for the purpose of comparing fair income distribution.

Gini Index Definition

Gini coefficient - Wikipedia

I am not sure what ‘fair’ distribution is. There is some relation between production and output/income. Should non-producers have the same output and income as non-producers? From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs is a Marxist paradigm and quote. That doesn’t seem right to me; there should be a lot of surplus wealth used for nothing good in that paradigm. Maybe it could be adjusted in some way so it worked without government goons deciding what everybody needs.

There should be a minimum livable income and a maximum allowable income to prevent social misery and the end of democracy with plutocracy. Besides that there should be equal opportunity to be productive and end the prospect of oppression by corporations, individuals or the state.

Maybe there are clever, better ways to regard fair distribution of wealth. Certainly public resources should be equally accessible such as forests, oceans etc and not exploited or destroyed for the benefit of corporations or governments.
